The two cycle engine used on this mini tilter/cultivator
requires a mixture of gasoline and oil for lubrication of the
bearings and other moving parts The correct fuel mixture
ratio is 24:1 (see Fuel Mixtu_e Chart) Gasoline and oil
must be premixed in a clean gasoline container Always
use fresh, clean unleaded gasoline
WARNING: Experience indicates thai alcohol blended
fuels (called gasahol or using ethanol or methanol) can
attract moisture which leads to separation and formation
of acids during storage Acidic gas can damage the fuel
system of an engine while in storage To avoid engine
problems, the fuel system should be emptied before
storage for 30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start
